  • Quantile normalization and DESeq

    Dear all,

    I'm looking to detect differentially expressed genes between different conditions, each represented by minimum 3 replicates. Preliminary in-depth analysis of my data showed inconsistent distributions of read counts between my samples. Normally I would do DE analysis using the EdgeR package and thus the TMM normalization method. However, EdgeR assumes comparable distribution of read counts, which I have not.

    Looking to other ways to normalize my data I regularly came across the workflow to quantile normalize with the LIMMA package function, and then using the DESeq package for DE analysis, manually specifying the sizeFactors to accomodate for the quantile normalization. However, it is unclear to me how this is exactly done? Is this uberhaupt a valid way to do this?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Dieter

    i want to perform the quantile normalization . Is it possible to do this Deseq , EdgeR ??

      Neither edgeR nor DESeq support quantile normalization. Anyone who said that they did that didn't know what they were talking about. If you want/need to quantile normalize, use limma/voom.

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin




          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
